TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Disorders of Water Homeostasis: Hypo- and Hypernatremia A1 - Weisberg, Lawrence S. A2 - Lee, Kiwon Y1 - 2012 N1 - T2 - The NeuroICU Book AB - Critically ill patients are prone to a wide variety of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base disorders. Two of those disorders are of particular relevance to patients with critical neurologic illness: hyponatremia and hypernatremia. These are by far the most common electrolyte abnormalities in patients with central nervous system disease and have the most pressing diagnostic and therapeutic implications. This chapter therefore will focus exclusively on these disorders. Interested readers will find a recent, more comprehensive discussion of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base abnormalities in critically ill patients elsewhere.1 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - neurology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1101645531 ER -
